Part-time and Summer Jobs

Working during the school semesters or in the summer is not only a financial necessity for many students, but can also be an excellent way to develop new skills and gain work experience. Drew students have found that their part-time and summer positions have helped them to make new contacts. Often, these jobs lead to full-time positions after graduation.

Drew’s geographic location, close to headquarters of major corporations as well as accessible to a large variety of small businesses and not-for-profit organizations, makes it possible for students to work while in school. Drew students are very much in demand in our local community.
